Solana‘s two protocol upgrade proposals will be voted on, and the SOL inflation rate may be adjusted
Recently, asset management company VanEck stated that Solana’s planned protocol upgrade is crucial to the long-term health of the network, but it may deal a blow to validators’ income. In March, Solana validators will vote on two blockchain protocol upgrade proposals (SIMD) that are designed to ensure that stakers receive rewards and adjust the inflation rate of SOL. Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, wrote yesterday that the two proposals have sparked “significant controversy” because they could cut validators’ revenue by up to 95%, endangering small operators. “While these changes may reduce staking rewards, we believe that reducing inflation is a worthy goal to enhance Solana’s long-term sustainability.”
Pump.fun’s daily trading volume plummeted 94% from its peak in January
The significant decline in trading volume of “graduated” Pump.fun tokens since the beginning of the year reflects both the cooling of the broader market and the evolution of trader sentiment. Daily trading volume has plummeted from a peak of $3 billion in January to approximately $170 million at the time of writing, a 94% drop, which coincides with a slowdown in the platform’s token graduation rate, which has fallen from 1.85% to 0.83% per week, indicating that fewer new tokens have reached the $100,000 market cap threshold and are eligible to upgrade to Raydium.
Opinion: BTC may remain sluggish until US market sentiment improves
Recently, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju stated that the Bitcoin market may continue to remain sluggish before the US market sentiment improves. Currently, the on-chain activity is not significant and the key indicators are neutral, indicating that the bull market cycle is still continuing. At the same time, Bitcoin fundamentals remain strong, and more mining machines are coming online. He pointed out that if the bull cycle ends here, it will be an undesirable outcome for all parties, including old whales, mining companies, traditional financial institutions and even Trump. He also added that the market does not care about the impact on retail investors.
Market Trends: BTC fell first and then rose, and the AI Agents sector went dark
Market Hotspots
SOL, ADA, and XRP, which had previously fallen significantly, began to recover, with SOL re-standing above $140 and ADA rising by more than 20%.
The previously trending AI Agents sector has gone cold and has shown a downward trend amid a general rise in the Altcoin market. The tokens in this sector have all had negative returns since the beginning of this month, with the previously trending AI16Z having fallen by more than 30% this month.
Mainstream Coins
BTC fell first and then rose, once standing above the $88,000 mark. Today, the Fear and Greed Index rose by 5 points to 20, indicating that the market is still in an “extreme panic state.” From the perspective of form, BTC has entered a downward trend, and any upward movement in the market is more regarded as a rebound rather than a trend change.
ETH is still following the market, falling below $2,000 during the session, and the market still does not have too many expectations for ETH.
Altcoins saw a general rise, with the exception of the AI Agents sector which saw a decline.
